Site constraints 6

Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 1
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Ramsar wetland about 298 m away: Medway Estuary & Marshes
Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.
Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.
Also on the record
Nature improvement area: Greater Thames Marshes; SSSI about 298 m away: Tower Hill to Cockham Wood SSSI; Inside the Upchurch built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 1, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
